Jill Filipovic Throws Me Some Traffic; Little Green Footballs, Not So Much

America’s Favorite Feminist responds to this morning’s provocation by accusing me of promoting the narrative, “Brown people are savages who will go after pretty white women.” A near-miss there, Ms. Filipovic, but thanks for linking me. Meanwhile . . . It’s really sad that he’s got nothing better to do. While I’m on the hook […]

Paging Jill Filipovic

Please tell me what I am permitted to say when a gang of Egyptian men celebrates the end of the Mubarak regime by sexually assaulting an American TV news reporter: Maybe Egyptians could use one of Filipovic’s pious lectures about “no means no” and “stop means stop.” I’d probably be accused of some sort of […]

Young Women: This Probably Explains Why Guys Only Want You For Sex

Because you’re not any good for anything else: Basic “female” skills are becoming endangered with fewer young women able to iron a shirt, cook a roast chicken or hem a skirt. Just as more modern men are unable to complete traditional male tasks, new research shows Generation Y women can’t do the chores their mothers and grandmothers […]

Fear of a Republican Uterus

James Taranto gets very close to the core of the dynamic behind Palin Derangement Syndrome:  Why does their hatred of her burn so hot? Ask them, and they’ll most likely tell you: Because she’s a moron. But that is obviously false. . . . They say she is uneducated. What they mean is that her […]

The Dangerous Myth of Sexual Equality

“Armed with a ‘Take Back the Night’ pamphlet, we were led to believe that, as long as we avoided the hordes of date rapists, sex was an egalitarian endeavor. The key to sexual harmony, so the thinking went, was social conditioning. Men who sexually took advantage of women were considered the storm troopers of patriarchy, […]

A Song for All My Feminist Fans

Donald Douglas has been having all the fun with you ladies lately, and it’s probably time I joined in again:

‘I Feel Like I Just Found Out I’ve Been Living on the Moon’

So says a progressive feminist, in agreeing with Ace of Spades’ take on the Julian Assange rape accusations, as described in an Australian newspaper account: She says they had consensual sex but she woke up the next morning to find him having intercourse with her to which she had not consented. When she asked him if he […]
